Dear Customers, Partners and Employees,
Human communication serves as a means of exchanging
information. Most of the time it works well, especially if the
communication partners know each other. But misunderstand-
ings and interruptions can still occur.
When applied to technical communication between vehicles,
machines and devices, it means more information is being
exchanged thanks to a growing degree of connectivity. But
even in these situations, failed transmissions and data loss are
commonplace.
In 2015, Fraunhofer ESK made several contributions to ensur-
ing more reliable and efficient technical communication:
launch of the digital test track on the a9 highway
near nuremberg
On the digital test track, vehicles share information regarding
danger situations. Communication is carried out in real-time
using the LTE mobile network, without the typical latency. This
fast and reliable flow of information will one day help to re-
lieve traffic congestion and prevent accidents. We implement-
ed this project (page 12) together with Continental, Deutsche
Telekom AG and Nokia Networks. I‘m especially proud that
the project was recognized in March 2016 with a best practice
award by the Intelligent Connectivity Initiative.
e-mobility – efficiency and safety is a must
Within the SafeAdapt project (page 14), our researchers col-
laborated with partners from industry and science to develop
an adaptive electric/electronics software architecture (E/E
system) for electric vehicles. The system is designed to detect
and rectify problems during operation on its own, thus leading
to improved safety, reliability and cost efficiency.
From mobility 4.0 to Industry 4.0
Manufacturing and production systems are also becoming
increasingly connected. The growing numbers of networked
machines, plus large volumes of data, demands a reliable com-
munication architecture. Together with our partner Huawei,
we have illustrated how this architecture could be created.
The white paper „Industrial Internet of Things“ - a reference
architecture for the communication (page 15) - provides an
important building block for the future of industrial communi-
cation.
broadband data transmission
VDSL and G.fast coexist, provide interference-free data
transmission and even make it possible to expand broadband
communication using the existing copper wire infrastructure.
We demonstrated how this works in the joint project FlexDP
(page 17).
You will find other interesting projects in this year‘s annual
report.
All of the project activities depend on human communication
between the employees and with our customers, partners
and financial sponsors. With this in mind, I‘d like to express
my sincere thanks to all of you for another year of excellent
cooperation. I‘m looking forward to our continued work on
the communication capabilities of the future, in whatever form
they might take.
Sincerely,
Rudi Knorr

Simple assistance systems, equipped with sensors such as
distance monitors, have already become a standard feature
in most modern vehicles. The next major technological step
is fully autonomous driver assistance systems that assume
control of the vehicle without driver intervention. For this to
happen, the vehicle sensors must be capable of capturing data
for not only the vehicle itself, but for the surrounding envi-
ronment, both in a predictive manner and in real-time. The
combination of internal sensors and communication between
the vehicles and the road infrastructure will make it possible
to develop automated cooperative assistance systems such as
cooperative platooning one day.
Still, the high demands placed on such safety-critical systems
bring to light basic questions related to reliability. Coping with
the complexities of the internal and external communication
architecture as early as the design phase requires abstracting
model-driven descriptions of the functions and the non-func-
tional features. Ensuring functional safety while the vehicle
is being operated calls for fail operational communications
architectures.
To enable autonomous driving functions for instance, in the
future vehicles will feature high-grade, seamless and fail op-
erational connectivity. To improve safety and increase efficien-
cy, Fraunhofer ESK is conducting research into technologies
and methods for connecting vehicles with their surroundings
and developing design methods and software architectures for
automotive applications in complex, adaptive and connected
environments.

Industrie 4.0
Industry 4.0 is creating strong demand for flexible network-
ing technologies in manufacturing environments, particu-
larly for wireless connectivity and the integration of sensors
and actuators into cloud platforms.
To effectively manage the coexistence of industrial wire-
less systems, ESK researchers developed Awair, a software
program that monitors the wireless environment and rapidly
detects problems with signal quality and interference.
Manufacturing companies can thus improve the coexistence
of their own wireless systems and facilitate interference-free
operation.
A further research focus of this business unit is the incorpo-
ration of local sensors and actuators into cloud platforms.
Researchers developed and integrated protocol stacks that
facilitate communication between conventional PLC tech-
nology and modern cloud/IoT platforms.
This business unit helps companies integrate their industrial
components into IoT and cloud platforms. One example is
the installation of predictive maintenance applications for
the efficient maintenance and servicing of large distributed
systems and equipment.
smart grid
Smart grids can become reality only when the network com-
ponents, smart meters or electric vehicles communicate with
one another using a common technology. Our researchers are
working to connect smart meters and switching components
to the grid provider’s infrastructure in real-time. They are also
testing new transmissions technologies and protocol stacks,
such as the IEC 61850, in the laboratory and in the field.

The groups are working on hybrid communication infrastruc-
tures, as well as on migration paths and technologies for
expediting the transformation of existing solutions.
Access & In-house Networks specializes in the development of
cable modems and simulation programs for the high bit-rate
(> 1 GBit/s) transmission of data in existing infrastructures near
and in buildings. This group also develops technology compat-
ibility assessments on the basis of real measurements, such as
analyzing vectored VDSL versus G.fast. New fields of applica-
tion for this group include know-how transformation in areas
such as high bit-rate vehicle bus systems.
Communication Solutions is active in the area of cyber
security, which involves authentication and trust in industrial
production. In the APOLI project, a consortium of machine
engineering companies, software developers, IT security firms
and Fraunhofer ESK are researching and developing a simple,
yet secure method of user authentication for remote mainte-
nance applications.
Apart from validating the communication, there is a need to
identify network irregularities that could be caused by cyber
attacks or espionage. The group is involved in several joint
projects with government organizations, industry partners and
universities to develop potential analysis methods.
In the Telecommunicat ion business unit , the Access & In-house Networks and Communicat ion Solut ions
groups focus their research act iv i t ies on re l iable broadband (gigabit ) t ransmiss ion v ia f iberglass/copper
wire networks, as wel l as the secure transmiss ion of information through communicat ion solut ions. In
addit ion, expert ise in the f ie ld of IT forens ics in real-t ime systems is being developed.

involved in the Information and Communication Technolo-
gies Alliance as well as the Microelectronics Alliance. Through
collaboration between institutes with a similar technical focus,
these alliances provide a platform for developing future pro-
jects and new technologies. This alliance bundles the mechani-
cal engineering, electronics and IT expertise of its member
institutes with the goal of developing solutions to address
problems that affect individual as well as multiple disciplines.
Fraunhofer ESK can thus rely on the other institutes to supple-
ment its own expertise.
Fraunhofer ESK also actively participates in technology and
industry committees outside of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
including standards groups like AUTOSAR and the Car2Car
Communication Consortium and industry associations such as
the German Association of Engineers and the BICCNET and
Mechatronics clusters. Within the standards committees, the
goal is to drive the development of standards forward and to
ensure that the institute’s development activities stay ahead of
the technology curve. Participation in industry organizations
helps Fraunhofer ESK pin-point the needs of the market and
develop corresponding solutions.

As part of a joint project, Fraunhofer ESK, Continental,
Deutsche Telekom and Nokia Networks are demonstrat-
ing how vehicles can share highway traffic information and
warnings using the Deutsche Telekom LTW mobile network.
To keep transmission times to a minimum, one segment of
the Deutsche Telekom network was equipped with innovative
mobile edge computing technology from Nokia Networks and
enhanced with a service developed by Fraunhofer ESK that is
designed for the positioning-based distribution of notifications
with low latency. This combination enables car-to-car signal
delay times of less than 20 milliseconds, a first in the industry.
Together with a vehicle electronics interface developed by
Continental, various applications for safer and more comfort-
able driving can be realized. A prime example is the implemen-
tation of warnings for sudden braking and unexpected lane
changes when overtaking.
This involved supplementing the mobile network base stations
with plug-in modules, or so-called cloudlets, which ensure
that the communication traffic is routed locally within the
respective mobile network cell instead of traversing the entire
network. This drastically reduced signal delay times to around
20 milliseconds. Without the new technology, transmission
over the LTE network can take up to 100 milliseconds.
Each test vehicle features an on-board unit that is connected
to the vehicle system and which communicates with the LTE
network via a wireless module. Continental provided the
application software and the graphical interface for the ap-
plication scenarios and is also responsible for integrating the
LTE technology with the vehicle bus (CAN) signals. In conjunc-
tion with Fraunhofer ESK’s GeoService software that runs on
the LTE base station, the system captures status and warning
notifications from the vehicles and processes them directly in
the next LTE base station. Using calculations carried out locally
in the base station, the system can send out nearly delay-free
traffic warnings to all vehicles located in the relevant areas.
This joint project was awarded first place in the „Traffic” cat-
egory in the 2016 best practice competition conducted by the
Intelligent Connectivity (German: Intelligente Vernetzung) ini-
tiative organized by the German Federal Ministry for Economic
Affairs and Energy. Together with the German consulting firm
Management- und IT-Beratung MHP, a Porsche company and
first-time participant in the project, the project partners are
planning to continue the collaboration through a follow-up
project in the area of vehicle connectivity.

By connecting all traffic participants, we can deal more ef-
fectively with traffic congestion, accidents and undue environ-
mental pollution. The issue is that vehicles normally utilize the
ITS-G5 wireless standard while pedestrians rely on their LTE-
based smartphones. The aim is to enable traffic participants to
communicate with one another in real-time, irrespective of the
individual wireless technologies. In the TIMON project, Fraun-
hofer ESK and its partners are researching concepts that will
allow this vision to become reality. The idea is to ensure that
drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and the traffic infrastructure have
continuous access to all relevant information from the immedi-
ate surroundings, thus allowing them to adapt to the current
traffic situation. Especially pedestrians and cyclists can be for
example protected from collisions by real-time warnings. The
entire system will be evaluated in a simulated environment, as
well as in two field tests in the Netherlands and Slovenia.

Software architectures in E-vehicles and automated vehicles
must be able to independently correct errors and disrup-
tions while the vehicle is operating to ensure better safety,
reliability and cost efficiencies. In the EU-funded SafeAdapt
project, researchers developed an adaptive electric/electronic
(E/E) software architecture that addresses this requirement.
The six-nation project team also conducted research into the
design and validation methods for this architecture to ensure
that development of the system was carried out in line with
the functional safety standards specified in ISO 26262. At the
conclusion of the project, the results were evaluated under
real conditions utilizing test vehicles and a driving simulator.
Fraunhofer ESK customers can integrate this fail-operational
behavior into their products. Our researchers are ready to
support you through studies, software architecture designs,
software tool implementations and even the development of
complete prototypes.

In the field, harvesting machines lack continuous, real-time
access to the Internet. For this reason, reliable transmission
of data to a central maintenance service is not always pos-
sible. Potential outages can nevertheless be detected before
they happen by deploying a so-called edge cloud, which is
an application gateway that analyzes sensor data originating
from critical areas of the machine, such as the transmission.
If abnormal conditions are detected, an alarm is generated.
This so-called predictive maintenance approach saves time and
minimizes costly machine down-time. An additional advantage
is that rather than being restricted to one machine, the system
can be used to monitor an entire fleet while it’s operating in
the field.

Growing numbers of volatile energy sources, such as solar and
wind power systems, are being connected to the conventional
power grid. Communication between the components in
the existing grid and the renewable energy networks trans-
forms the conventional electricity networks into so-called
smart grids. Smart microgrids help to balance the supply and
demand in the local grid segments. As part of a field test
carried out in an industrial park, Fraunhofer ESK research-
ers defined the communication architecture for such a smart
microgrid. Among other things, this involved evaluating the
requirements, analyzing the data that needs to be shared
between the components, as well as the interaction between
the electricity and communication networks, and selecting
the communications technologies. LTE was deployed for quick
integration of the network components.

The communications network and the electricity network form the
two levels of the smart grid. A central server can be deployed to im-

With the build-out of the fiberglass network rapidly progress-
ing in Germany, the next milestone is referred to as fiber-to-
the-distribution-point (FTTdp). This approach involves running
the fiber to a distribution point at a flexible location no more
than 250 meters from the customer premise. The remaining
path to and inside the building or home utilizes the existing
copper wire telephone infrastructure. In the FlexDP project,
Fraunhofer ESK researchers used the technical components of
the distribution point to create a functional prototype that was
tested in the ESK Access & In-house Test Lab. The test demon-
strated that VDSL2- and G.fast-based distribution points can
be successfully implemented under near-real conditions.

Voice over IP (VoIP), which is rapidly replacing conventional
telephone services, can be easily integrated into existing IT
environments, although this is often done without examining
the system for security vulnerabilities. With this in mind, the
German Federal Ministry of Information Security (BSI) wants
to increase the awareness of the security risks associated with
VoIP.
Fraunhofer ESK researchers have developed a demonstrator
for the BSI, which can be used to visually represent potential
security vulnerabilities when using VoIP and thus identify
necessary security measures. The demonstrator software,
developed by project partner Alphasystems, provides a single
user interface for managing the VoIP system and displaying
the slides.

Security awareness – technology is only half the battle
Computers, mobile phone usage and the Internet are becom-
ing more secure. That’s what we hear at least. Because if users
are not aware of the risks of utilizing technology, even the
best security measures, whether encryption or access security,
are superfluous. The result is harm to equipment and systems

The VICTOR demonstrator is a street-legal BMW 320i station
wagon that was modified for test purposes.
VICTOR is the ideal platform for the rapid prototyping and
testing of reliable Car-2-X communication concepts. VICTOR
can be used together with the ezCar2X® software framework
developed by Fraunhofer ESK to evaluate various cooperative
driver assistance communication systems with one or more
technologies or to test new communication technologies and
architectures. Currently equipped with multiple ITS-G5 and
LTE interfaces, VICTOR will eventually be enhanced with other
technologies such as ITS-G63 and LTE V2X.
Apart from the communication interfaces, VICTOR can also be
retrofitted with integrated sensors. Three radar sensors and
one laser scanner sensor monitor the surrounding environ-
ment while an inertial measurement unit provides centimeter-
precise positioning. In order to access and merge the sensor
data and use it for creating cooperative environment models,
the demonstrator features two patch panels.

Fraunhofer ESK is headed by Prof. Dr. Rudi Knorr, who also
holds the Chair for Communication Technology at the Uni-
versity Of Augsburg Department Of Computer Science. This
chair is devoted to basic research in the cutting-edge field of
self-organizing communication systems in conjunction with
next generation networks such as cyber-physical systems or
the Internet of Things.
The research activities and teaching curriculum are focused on
the new demands being placed on information and communi-
cation technologies and embedded communication systems. In
the future, a wide range of applications, systems, equipment,
machines, vehicles and ICT networks will have to operate
together in order to provide functions and services that are
far beyond the capabilities of the individual components. The
challenge here involves ensuring reliability, which means the
ability to dynamically react in real-time to changes in the envi-
ronment, the availability of the devices, services, resources and
the degree of robustness in the communication system.
In this area, the research activities include not only basic
technologies for reliable connectivity and data transmission,
but also the interoperability and uniformity of various systems
and components required for end-to-end communication, par-
ticularly with an eye on the future Internet, or the Internet of
Things. In other words, a scenario in which Internet technolo-
gies pervade all technical systems, leading to the creation of a
global and application-wide integration platform.
Chair for CommuniCaTion sysTems
The research also focuses on adaptive methods for the dynam-
ic and more efficient utilization of wireless and wired channels
and the development of new algorithms and protocols for
self-organizing networked systems
Current research projects include the design of reliable IP-
based communication processes for internal vehicle systems
and wireless Car-2-X communication, as well as transmission
technologies, methods for integrating vehicles into mobility
concepts, sensor networks and protocols for smart grids and
intelligent production systems.
